Spring!!

Signs of spring is visible..

 

 

Flowers are blooming all over, more birds are chipping, happier Aussies, happy pets, happy humans..

 

Update for the last few weeks of Uni..

Finally managed to come out with a design for this ball launching thing.

It’s so simple and really practical. Rather then going to an extend of having moving arms like catapult. Ours was based on the game Pool..

How we hit the cue?

By using a stick! Therefore, our design..  

Walah! here it is. The 0.090kg design made out of some lightweight balsa wood. Finished it just in 2 days as we had to let the glue to really dry up.

The testing day was intense.. Everyone was so nervous.

I considered myself very lucky for that particular day..

The challenge was to..

Project the ball from any area, so we choose the green patch which is the furthest from the hole..

 

Project the ball over the ramp and onto this platform.. On this platform, there is a nuclear plant on the right.. and trees infront of the platform..

At the end of the platform.. there is…

Two holes.. one bigger and one smaller..

For my group, we accidently aimed a bit too far to the right that made the ball hit one of the power plant poles, and bounced back into the platform spinning uncontrollable and rolled into the small hole! how lucky man!

 

To get the most points,

we had to..

• be the lightest device
• project it from the furthest distance
• accurately let the ball into the small whole…

However we lost to this team… Who built a bridge to transport the ball from one end to the other.. Smart.. but NO BALLSSSSSS!! no guts to project a ball…

We got overall number 2 for that day…

 

Woots!! here is about my nephew!

 

he is certainly getting cuter and cuter day by day. Cant wait to see him this weekend..

His smile is seriously very expensive. Whenever we want to grab our camera.. he doesnt want to smile at us anymore=(

 

On Sunday, we had dinner at Coconut House on Elizabeth Street. I rate the shop 6/10. Not too bad for Malaysian store in Melbourne..

However, there was a setback that I found..

 

As I always go to different types of restaurants, I would choose their specialties.. For this supper menu, it was the Nasi Lemak Nyonya Curry Chicken that i tried..

But wait.. before ordering. I saw the special one.. so I went for that..

This is what I received.. for a dollar extra… what was so special?

3 extra small shrimps in sambal for 1 dollar extra! OMG!!!

totally a disgrace to Malaysian food!

last week of Uni next week!

will blog more!

Stay closely tuned!
